Not sure about the Sport Turismos because they're very new and I don't know what numbers they are being produced in, but...it's worth a phone call I think.

There's a guy I follow on Instagram that recently took a personal/ biz trip to Germany and he's a major track enthusiast and owns a couple gtr's and ACR vipers specific for track racing. He popped to the Porsche museum and it was pretty neat. Then he was able to do a tour of the factory and the lot holding all the built units that were one off productions was insane! I'm assuming large majority were the PTS builds as the colors were all over the spectrum and almost every single one was a panamera, or GT3.

One of the few time social media actually was interesting.

To the main point I don't think individual paint had any value on BMWs—-except to the guy who paid $5k or whatever to have it done at the time of order.

Huh? 1M...I could name whole generations of Porsche’s (993) that have appreciated in value compared to a 1M, not to mention the Carrera GT, 918, etc. The 1M was also produced in much smaller numbers than those cars so the fact that they’ve appreciated more should tell you which car is more desirable.
I have a PTS car and it’s worth at least double in resale what was paid. And on top of that Porsche just doubled the price of PTS on its sports car, if you can even get an allocation for it.

Done more than inquired...we attempted to submit an order. Response was no PTS for US Panamera Sport Turismo until further notice. They're very low production volume to begin with (only a few hundred per year) and 2018 standard allocations are still unfulfilled. Since PTS has a 6mo+ lead time, that puts it for 2019 and there aren't any allocations released for them yet. It was easier to get PTS on the 911R TBH.

I thought I'd seen just about every PTS, until I ran across this

Honestly it's probably a good thing. Last thing I need is another new car, let alone another PTST with an additional $30k tacked on for paint and an even more unique interior. Barely used the one I have as it is. A Targa GTS keeps entering my dreams but even that I pause on with the new model just around the corner.

Oh well.

and then you get the IG enablers who go "look at this GT3 RS painted donkey taint-brown. this is the only one in the galaxy! congratulations to the lucky owner"

I prefer pooh brown metallic...or...wait for it...frozen pooh brown metallic

is that the Porsche PTS-approved color list? it's different by model and yes, it's updated periodically. i have the one from June lying around somewhere, because that's when i ordered my wife's Macan. but even the Porsche dealers are confused sometimes, because they initially gave me an outdated list and it turned out that my first choice was no longer approved.
